Dad likes to make up elaborate stories every time he's asked that, ranging from catching her attention by wolf whistling to saving her from thugs. All complete bull of course lol. They met through my grandparents.

I don't really know how they met but I know how they split up. I don't think mother wants to talk about it because she rarely mentions him. We children were very young at that time. She got chatted up by my step father who asked her out. Later he invited all of us to dinner. She was the one who proposed to him.

My parents were childhood friends. After high school, my mother got married and my father lived in Mexico for a couple years. My mother's marriage didn't work out. When my father returned, he asked my mother out on a date and proposed right there. It was their first date together even though they grew up together and it was fast food even!

Happily married 27? 28? years now and still the strongest couple I know.

They met at church! My father was there with his sister(My mother thought his sister was his girlfriend..) My mother told me he was very inappropriately dressed for church,with a button down shirt that was almost completely open from the top. Kind of a boring story but it was pretty funny
